Demonic Cultivator

Demonic arts take the form of demon like magic, and underhanded tactics that would be employed by only the most evil. Growing as a demonic cultivator means you’ve improved your magic, and have learned how to be evil even when compared to a demon itself. Demonic magic is possible due to using your heart as a core to store itself in. As you expand your understanding of the dark arts, your core expands allowing you use and learn more magic. The growth of your core represented in the increase of spells and ki points you gain as you level up.
